Includes those votes giving the Chairman
discretion.
**A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is therefore not
counted towards the proportion of votes "in favour" or "against"
the resolutions.
As
a result of the passing of the Resolutions, trading in the
Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM will be cancelled at 07.00 a.m. on
21 March 2025. Shareholders are therefore reminded that the last
day of dealings in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM will be 20
March 2025.
In accordance with the passing of
the Resolutions, and subject to the Cancellation becoming
effective, the Company will re-register as a private company
limited by shares and adopt the new articles of association with
effect from such re-registration.
Further details of the Cancellation,
including the full text of the Resolutions, can be found in the
circular which was published and sent to shareholders on 20 January
2025 and is available on the Company's website at
https://biometechnologiesplc.com/.
Matched Bargain Facility
The Company is making
arrangements for a Matched Bargain Facility to assist Shareholders
to trade in the Ordinary Shares to be put in place from the date of
the Cancellation. The Matched Bargain Facility is to be provided by
JP Jenkins. JP Jenkins is an appointed representative of Prosper
Capital LLP, which is authorised and regulated by the
FCA.
It is intended that the Matched
Bargain Facility will operate for a minimum of six months after the
Cancellation. The Directors' current intention is that it will
continue beyond that time, but Shareholders should note there
remains a risk that the Matched Bargain Facility may not remain in
place for an extended period of time and therefore inhibit the
ability to trade the Ordinary Shares. The Company would expect to
update its website (see above) before withdrawal of the Matched
Bargain Facility.
Further details on the Matched
Bargain Facility can be found in the circular sent to shareholders
on 20 January 2025 and referred to above.
There can be no guarantee as to the level of the liquidity or
marketability of the Ordinary Shares under the Matched Bargain
Facility, or the level of difficultly for Shareholders seeking to
realise their investment under the Matched Bargain
Facility, or that the Matched Bargain Facility will
remain in place for an extended period of time. If
Shareholders wish to buy or sell Ordinary Shares on AIM, they must
do so prior to the Cancellation becoming
effective.
Capitalised terms used in this
announcement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
announcement issued by the Company dated 21 February 2025 unless
otherwise defined herein.
